BLT, or Bistro Laurent Tourondel, is the personal stamp of acclaimed chef and restaurateur Laurent Tourondel. With BLT Steak, he elevates the classic American Steakhouse with his signature style, French training and all-around finesse. BLT Steak opened in Manhattan in 2004 as a revolutionary new Modern American Steakhouse and was named one of “the best new restaurants in America” by Esquire Magazine that same year. Following the restaurant’s overwhelming success, sister locations have opened in Washington, D.C. and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The White Plains restaurant will be the first suburban location.

“We are very excited to announce the arrival of BLT Steak at The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester. Laurent Tourondel has created a sensational concept in fine dining that has brought new excitement to the Manhattan restaurant scene. And now that same exciting dining experience is coming to downtown White Plains,” said Mr. Cappelli.

Mr. Cappelli said the debut of BLT Steak is yet another example of the remarkable renaissance under way in downtown White Plains. “To have a restaurant of this high caliber opening in White Plains is a testament to the vitality and strength of the city’s ongoing resurgence,” said Mr. Cappelli.

He noted that another new restaurant offering magnificent views of Manhattan, Long Island Sound and beyond will be located on the 42nd floor of Tower I. An announcement on this is expected shortly. 

The opening of BLT Steak will further enhance the luxury lifestyle offered at The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester, an entirely new concept in residential living that combines the carefree convenience of a condominium with the amenities and services of a world-class hotel.
